After His Majesty's rebirth, he personally taught the queen to abuse the scumbag

At that time, I left without looking back. Now when I think about it, I was like a fool. Everyone had advised me against it, but I still pushed myself into a desperate situation.

I had to wait until I saw a cliff ahead before I turned around, and I had to get myself covered in bruises before I was willing to bear the pain. Now that I think about it... it's really not worth it.

She sighed. In fact, before entering the palace, she could vaguely feel that Wei Jinghan had a special feeling for her, but unfortunately, she was determined to enter the palace and stay with Ji Lingzhou.

"Empress?" Shuhua hadn't heard the answer from her own Liangliang, so she called out again.

Cheng Mingran pulled her thoughts away from the past: "No, my current status is special, so it is inconvenient for me to meet him, so as to avoid unnecessary criticism."

"It was my fault for being reckless." Shuhua said.

"Okay, go down. I want to be alone for a while." Cheng Mingran said.

"Your Majesty, you'd better drink this bowl of medicine first. His Majesty specifically instructed us to drink it first before he left, saying that he wants us to watch you finish it." Shuhua said again.

Cheng Mingran: “…” This is not going to end with the medicine.

But it’s okay. She looked at the bowl of medicine in her hand. The prescription should have been adjusted, so the taste was not as strong as before.

She took a sip and luckily, it wasn't too bitter. Cheng Mingran suppressed her nausea and drank the whole bowl of medicine.

"Is it okay now?" Cheng Mingran hated taking medicine the most.

Shuhua also had a look of helplessness on his face. It was always difficult to coax his master to take medicine. Fortunately, His Majesty was able to take care of him a little bit recently.

After Shuhua left, Cheng Mingran sat alone in the hall again. She used to like crowds the most, but now she felt that sitting alone in the room quietly without being disturbed by anyone was also a nice and elegant thing.

She stood up and walked to the window not far away. It was already dark outside, but today she could vaguely see the moon outside.

In the deep bedroom, Cheng Mingran sat alone by the window. Her figure looked particularly gentle under the cold moonlight, as if she had merged into the quiet night.

Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, gleaming with a faint silver light, which complemented her eyes, exuding a mysterious and charming temperament. She was wearing an elegant palace skirt, the hem of the skirt swaying gently, but it was a pity that it could not stir up any waves, only calmness.

Her fingers gently rested on the window frame, and her fingertips felt cold. Her eyes looked into the distance. She always waited for Ji Lingzhou like this before, but now...

Cheng Mingran lowered her head and sat down by the window.

The furnishings in the palace exude a faint fragrance, intertwined with the fragrance of wintersweet flowers outside the palace. The palace lanterns sway in the breeze, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a touch of poetry to this quiet night.

Cheng Mingran looked at the moon quietly. At this moment, she seemed particularly lonely under the moonlight. She was still a little dizzy and groggy, so she just lay down on the table.

This is Zichen Palace, but the incense burning in this palace is exactly the same as that in Lianyi Palace. Because Cheng Mingran knew that he liked it, she changed everything around her to look like what she liked, including herself...

She had always thought that Ji Lingzhou liked people who were gentle and polite, so she learned the rules specifically, hoping that he would pay more attention to her.

But not long ago, he told himself to just be like usual...

Cheng Mingran slowly closed her eyes. He... was too hard to satisfy, and she was too tired.

Ji Lingzhou... Now the only thing I have to do is to slowly learn not to care about you. I just hope that by then we can both be decent.

I won't bother you anymore...

Cheng Mingran fell into a deep sleep while thinking about this. Perhaps the medicine she drank today had a calming effect, so she slept very deeply.

Half an hour later, when Ji Lingzhou finished his work and returned to Zichen Palace.

"Where is Concubine Shu?" The first question he asked when he came back was about Cheng Mingran.

Shuhua bowed slightly and said: "The Queen just finished drinking the medicine and said she wanted to be alone for a while, so we servants came out. The Queen is still in there now, I will go and call her." After she said this, she was about to push the door open.

But Ji Lingzhou stopped her and said, "No need, I will go in by myself."

Shuhua didn't force it after hearing this, and simply pushed it aside. Now that His Majesty's attitude towards the Empress has obviously improved, it would be a good thing for the two of them to be alone together.

Their queen had lived such a hard life over the years and had waited so long that she finally got the attention of His Majesty. Naturally, they hoped that the two of them could continue like this.

Ji Lingzhou gently pushed open the door, but frowned when he entered. There were not even a few candles on in the room, only two dim lights.

He took two steps into the room and saw the little woman sleeping on the bed.

The moonlight fell on her, making her body look even thinner. Ji Lingzhou suddenly felt distressed, but he didn't know why.

Ji Lingzhou walked towards her with light steps. He did not pick her up immediately, nor did he wake her up. He just sat down quietly beside her, his hair gently touching Cheng Mingran's face.

There was once a saying that the loneliest thing in the world might be the moon, with long nights and biting cold winds.

But at this moment, Ji Lingzhou suddenly felt that Cheng Mingran seemed to be alone forever. Didn't she... like being lively? But why couldn't he see that kind of liveliness in her?

He reached out and gently pushed Cheng Mingran's hair aside. Cheng Mingran was not awake yet. She was still sick.

Ji Lingzhou sighed, and finally picked the person up from his seat and walked towards the bed.

Cheng Mingran... was very light. When I held her in my arms, it felt like I was holding a skeleton. She was too thin, especially after she came out of the cold palace.

Ji Lingzhou put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt. She had a high fever today, and Ji Lingzhou reached out and touched her forehead. It seemed to be still a little hot. He hoped that she would get some sleep tonight and feel better tomorrow morning.

He stood up straight. He had no plan to stay here tonight, so he stood by the bed and looked at her for a long time before turning around and leaving.

However, the moment he turned and left, Cheng Mingran had already opened her eyes. She didn't say anything, but just lay there quietly until his figure completely disappeared...
